All 6 art the clown and terrifying movies ranked, worst to best

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR TERRIFIER 3 AHEAD!

Damien Lyon terrifying Franchise has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years thanks to its iconic main villain, Art the Clown. So far, there have been three movies in the terrifying franchise, each more creatively depraved and gory than the last. The initial spike in popularity of the franchise can be attributed to the viral nature of Terrifying 2What was so great that the camp members got really sick. The franchise is even set to expand to a new medium, with a terrifying Video game reportedly on the way. As it stands, the public can’t get enough of Art the Clown.

However, Art’s history extends more than a decade before 2016’s terrifying First shocked audiences. While audiences are undoubtedly looking to the future yet Terrifying 3‘s cliffhanger ending, it’s worth taking a look back at Damien Leone’s previous work with Art the Clown. The ranking below takes many factors into account, including scariness, quality of story and how much fun each entry is for horror fans. The list expands beyond the Terrifier franchise to include prequels and anthologies; If art was featured in it, it counts.

The 9th Circle (2008)

Art’s first appearance came in a short film

American director, screenwriter and makeup/effects artist Damien Leone first conceived of art way back in 2008. Art appeared as a supporting character in Leone’s short film The 9th circleWhich features a hodgepodge of typical horror characters. The real purpose of the short film was to show Leone’s ability as a mother and effects artist, and therefore each monstrous character looks different. As Leone explains to Shrek chief:

I tell people it was my kitchen sink film … I put in everything, clowns, witches, demons, monsters, everything up against the wall hoping something would stick.

in The 9th circleActing as an emissary of Satan, Art follows him on his erratic pursuit and then captures a young woman at a train station. Art’s true intentions are revealed when he stabs the young woman with a tranquilizer so that she can be taken away as a sacrifice for a satanic cult. Like a short film in which Art is only a side character who shows none of his now famous charisma and sadism, The 9th circle ranks last. It is important as the first appearance of art, but it is not the art that audiences love.

All Hell’s Eve (2013)

Art is prominent in the horror anthology movie

It is difficult to rank All Hail’s Eve In the larger context of Art’s film appearances, considering It’s an anthology film that actually includes two other entries on the list. All Hail’s Eve is Art’s first feature film appearance, and centers around a babysitter who finds a videotape in her kids’ trick-or-treat bag, which she plays after they go to bed. The videotape features three distinct short movies that all feature Art the Clown in some capacity. After watching the video, the babysitter meets the real Art, who entered the real world and killed the kids upstairs.

Two of the (untitled) movies on the videotape are actually The 9th circle And terrifyingWhich again makes All Hail’s Eve Hard to rank. The overarching story related to the babysitter meets the actual art is uninspired, and both The 9th circle And the second movie, which features a stranger who tracks down a woman in her house, is neither terrible nor really memorable. however, All Hail’s Eve is still technically Art’s feature film debutand features him as the primary antagonist throughout.

Terrifier (2011)

The earliest version of the art audiences know and love

The third movie on the All Hail’s Eve Videotape is also a short film by Damien Leone, and this is what most consider the true beginning of art. In 2011, Leone wrote and directed The short film terrifyingWhich features Art committing horrific murders in the most creative and cruel fashion What he is now known for. In short, a young woman witnesses one of Art’s murders at a gas station on Halloween night, which draws his attention to her; Art pokes and prods her for a bit before finally getting to her.

Given that 2011’s terrifying Being a short film, there isn’t much opportunity for Art to get into his patented form of murderous mischief. However, it does mark these True birth of art the clown as a brutal killer with apparent supernatural abilities (He was able to seemingly teleport his prey down the highway after she just sped away from him in her car). It is art in its simplest form, but he flexes some of that charisma terrifying Franchise’s art is known for.

Terrifier (2016)

The first feature-length adventure for the modern art

Before these terrifying Franchise started breaking records with Terrifying 3The original movie series laid the groundwork for Art the Clown and his now years-long reign of terror over Miles County. 2016s terrifying Features a stripped-down story that pits a couple of young women enjoying Halloween night against the version of Art the Clown that audiences around the world now know. terrifying Features art with all its trademark menace And plenty of his quiet comic antics, and delivers plenty of gore in his tight runtime.

terrifying Takes the character that Damien Lyon first fleshed out in the 2011 short film and perfects it. Leone correctly noted during Art’s performance that The 2010s didn’t really have an iconic slasher like previous decades. He intended to create something that could stand the test of time alongside horror icons like Michael Myers, Jason, Chucky, Freddy Krueger and Ghostface. terrifying Delivering just such a character, Art’s cartoonish nature, pale face and total silence combine to create something truly unique and terrifying.

terrifying Also introduces the character of Victoria HayesPlayed by Samantha Scaffidi, who becomes a major player later in the terrifying Franchise. terrifying Makes it clear that Art the Clown is much more than a simple slasher; He took pleasure in committing murders in a gruesome, painful way. Killing with the saw and Art eating most of Victoria’s face at the end of the movie proves that Art is something much more evil than a typical slasher, and his resurrection proves that he is driven by a power much more sinister.

Terrifier 3 (2024)

Art and Vicki unleash a yuletide reign of terror

After the viral success of Terrifying 2Damien Leone was faced with the challenge of upping the ante both in terms of story and in terms of gore. following up Terrifying 2s controversial bedroom scene was no easy feat, however Leone managed to at least come close to matching the level of corruption with Terrifying 3. In the third chapter in the terrifying franchise, Art is back after a five-year wait (literally), to exact some Yuletide revenge on Lauren Lavera’s Sienna Shaw, her brother Jonathan, and the other innocents of Miles County.

Terrifying 3 is loaded with memorable kills; Two of the most notable are his visit to Santa Claus and his homage to Norman Bates in the showers. But, what makes Terrifying 3 Stand apart from the other entries in the list is like it Opens the franchise to a new world of nightmarish possibilities. Vicki figures prominently in Terrifier 3 as the Harley Quinn to Art’s Joker, and her possession by some sort of demonic entity proves just how powerful the forces aligned against Sienna Shaw are.

Terrifying 3 Expands the franchise learning in about that Terrifying 2 Just touchedWhich is why it is ranked so high on the list. The character of art is perfected, and it is possible that Terrifying 3 Features Art at his funniest, but the expansion of the lore behind Art and Sienna’s final battle is the difference. Their clash carries legitimate weight as a biblical battle of good versus evil, and Terrifying 3‘s ending implies that the franchise could be heading in a more hellish direction soon.

Terrifier 2 (2022)

The battle between Art and Sienna Shaw begins

Terrifying 2 Is still the best movie that Art the Clown has ever appeared in because of How perfectly it built the world around him. A psychotic, immortal, killer clown, especially one as charismatic as Art, will certainly whet the appetite of horror fans, but this is the story and the cast of characters introduced in Terrifying 2 That took art to the next level. Art was given his own allies in the little pale girl and Vicky, who help him carry out his mission of royalty, and he breaks new ground in sadism and depravity.

more important, Terrifying 2 Introducing Lauren Lavera’s Sienna Shaw. Every great villain needs a nemesis, and Sienna is Art, the perfect benevolent reflection of his evil. Terrifying 2 Introduces the lore behind Sienna’s father and her angel warrior costume, and features a climax that elevates her character to something supernatural to defy art. She is killed by Art and is able to return from his own personal corner of hell (the Clown Cafe), indicating that she may be immortal just like he is.

Terrifying 2 tops the list because This is the most complete movie that Art has been in. It contains some of the scariest scenes in the terrifying franchise and features not only a well-defined heroine that audiences can rally behind, but also an engaging cat and mouse game between Art and Sienna. The fight builds to an appropriately bloody and downright awesome climax that sees Sienna exact revenge for the friends and loved ones Art killed, but leaves the door wide open for more.
